• Matching Fillers
– If welded with matching filler, preheat and PWHT (due to
hard martensitic formation). Preheating will reduce the HAZ
cooling rate, maintain the weld metal above the ductile-brittle
transition temperature and may reduce residual stresses.
Preheat temperature should be within the range 50-250 °C
depending on material composition.
• Other considerations
• Use chloride free marker pens, tapes etc
